In his debut as a starter, Raphinha scores twice and was elected best of the match
It was a dance. At Arena Amazônia and with the presence of about 13 thousand fans, Brazil had no difficulties and beat Uruguay by 4-1. The highlight of the match was Raphinha, the attacking midfielder made his debut in the starting lineup and scored twice.
Neymar opened the scoring after Fred’s beautiful release. Also in the first half, Raphina widened after Mulsera’s rebound on Neymar’s shot. In the second stage, in a quick counterattack, the Leeds player made the third in Brazil and his second in the game. Suarez declined in free-kick. But the Brazilian team would still score with Gabigol, who left the bench to leave his. The goal needed the help of the VAR to be validated, as the flag marked offside.
The victory practically stamped the passport to the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The result further isolates Brazil in the lead in the Qualifiers with 31 points from the undefeated campaign of ten wins and a draw. Uruguay dropped to fifth place with 16 points. Qualifiers return in November. Brazil receives Colombia and then leaves to face Argentina.
